In addition to this the county agent is conducting a pool of the mole skins and will re turn to each youngster his share of the money received for the skins. Th® county is also paying a bounty of five cents on the moles and gophers, which will be received by the children in addition to the money received for the skins.

Man still makes her the beast of burden, the salable chattel, and treats her like aa ignorant and re calcitrant child. With the Yorubas on the Slave coast, man's chief occupa tion seems to be to direct and im press women.

Ever the male children are aware that it Is the "Egun" who answers; but frail woman Is supposed not to know. Woe betide her If she voices nay doubts or unbelief about it! She gets a good beating. The ‘‘Egun" has developed in many localities of Yoru- baland Into a kind of bogy whose func tion It Is to spirit away undesirables— busybodies, scolds, scandalmongers. The women are his special providence, although on occasion he will punish a man if that high-and-mlghty member of society can ever be thought guilty of any punishable offense! An African woman who threatens an “Egun" with personal violence, or speaks evil of htm, Is punishable by nothing toss than death.
